Laser hair reduction is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth. It is a semi-permanent method often chosen for areas like the face, legs, underarms, and Brazilian areas. Multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results.
The recommend number of treatments can vary based on, skin type, hair color, and targeted area. However, multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve optimal results. On average, people may undergo anywhere from 6 to 8 cosmetic procedure sessions spaced several weeks apart depending on area. Keep in mind that individual laser hair reduction responses to treatment can vary.
To prepare for laser hair reduction, schedule a consultation to discuss your hair goals, avoid sun exposure, avoid other hair removal methods such as waxing, tweezing, and electrolysis. Shave the area at least 24 hours before your session, avoid any products containing retinoids or acids and inform your technician about any changes in medication, medical conditions, or recent sun exposures. Always follow the specific instructions provided for the best result and to minimize the risk of side effects.
Laser hair removal may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications, or reasons why someone should not undergo laser hair removal, include; pregnancy, recent sun exposure or tanning, photosensitizing medications or antibiotic, skin infections, history of keloid scarring, skin cancer, or use of Accutane. Always consult with a qualified professional before undergoing laser hair reduction to insure its safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.
Your tailored laser hair removal solution involves customizing the treatment based on individual factors such as, skin type, hair color, and the targeted area. This personalized approach aims to optimize effectiveness and minimize potential side effects, ensuring a more tailored and satisfactory outcome for everyone.

No, there is no downtime after laser hair removal. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the session. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area for at least 2 weeks.
Laser hair reduction can cause some discomfort, but the level of pain varies from person to person. Many individuals describe the sensation as a mild stinging or snapping feeling, often resembling the snap of a rubber band against the skin. However the Clarity II utilizes cryogenic technology to minimize any discomfort during treatment. Some people may experience temporary redness or mild swelling in the treated area, but these side effects subside quickly.
